Procrastination is one of my finer talents especially when making a living gets in the way.:-D I started this project 11 years ago, time flies when you're having fun. Anyway business has been slow so I've managed to complete 2 gun projects this fall/winter.
The rifle is in 357Mag. The wood is from Treebone Carving and has some really nice figure although it doesn't show up that good in these pictures. I saw a Sharps rifle with a browned barrel and case colored action and I was trying to duplicate that look but the browning came out pretty dark and has a Plum look which you can't see in the pictures. It still looks pretty good though.
The barrel is a 14 twist and if anyone has some pet loads for a 357 rifle I'd appreciate the help. I have a 200gr mold and a 150gr round nose mold in stock. The loads I tried yesterday at 100yd were dismal. I have some Lilgun which is suppose to be the ticket but don't have a clue where to start with that powder. Tried A#9, H110, and 2400 and they didn't look to promising.
